City council acts on D.A.R.E.
ty: DOTTIE McSREW
The city of North Canton and
the school district will work
together to set up a D.A.R.E.
program (Drug Awareness Resistance Education) of drug and
alcohol prevention education in
the district's four elementary
schools.
D.A.R.E. is a national program which puts a specially-
trained uniformed police officer, minus the gun belt, in the
classroom to teach a prevention-oriented curriculum. Tlie
police officer's knowledge and
on-the-street experience bolster the course.
The program should be in
place in a year and will cost
the city between $45,000 and
$55,000 annually in police officer's wages and benefits and
on-going training and program
supplies.
"We have an opportunity here
to do something constructive
for the corrmunity. D.A.R.E.
may not te the best program but
it is the only game in town,"
said council vice president
Daryl Revoldt.
North Canton will nominate a
police officer for the position
who will then be interviewed by
the D.A.R.E. organization in
Columbus. If accepted, he will
enter a training class this
fall. Tlie program will be
subject to on-going evaluation
and cost control by the city,
the school district and parents.
A recent survey of 1500
North Canton students in grades
seven through 12 revealed substance use and abuse figures
similar to national averages.
"It's pretty hard to hide
your head in the sand when you
hear these figures," Assistant
to the Superintendent of
Schools A. Michael Sumser told
council. Prevention programs
are more effective than intervention after the problem develops and the earlier the
better, Sumser added.
In other business, Council
authorized legislation for
March 11 to restrict the size
and location of accessory
buildings in the city's residential areas to the side and
rear yard only no closer than
ten feet from the main building. An accessory building may
not be higher than the principal structure and the total
ground floor may not exceed 35
percent of the rear yard. "The
intent of this legislation is
to protect residents from unsightly super-garages which do
not fit residential areas,"
said Councilman Gary Wechter.
Legislation to dedica

council time to respond
residents' concerns about wid
ening the street, storm sewer
and a natural barrier to sere
The Magnolias, a planned uni
development.. „ slaved for the\
former'Hoover/Connelly estate.
Council will vote next Monday on legislation authorizing
the city to advertise and receive bids for a new EMS ambulance to replace one of the
two operated by the city. Cost
could be about $90,000. The
city purchased an ambulance
five years ago for $70,000.
The $20,000 difference is
due in part to the 18,000-pound
light-duty truck chassis specified by tlie EMS. On-going and
expensive maintenance problems
have plagued the ambulance
built on an 11,000-pound van
chassis.
Neighboring municipalities
have purchased ambulances in
the last several years at the
following prices:
* Plain Township, 1987,
$56,000
* Greentown, 1987, $58,000
* Canton, 1989, $86,000 and
1990, $87,000
* Bethlehem Township, 1990,

ECONOMICS: teaching it like it is
by DOTTIE McGREW!
Doug Haskell should have
been a salesman. The former
teacher and Acting Director of
the University of Cincinnati's
Center for Economic Education
came to North Canton last week
to show teachers how to teach
economies, more effectively.
His pitch was simple and direct.
"To teach economics you must
make kids pay the price and
keep the benefits. The free
market has got to be real, even
in the classroom. It's not a
game and not an exercise,"
Haskell said.
To illustrate his point Haskell traded a dollar for a
teacher's empty paper coffee
cup. When she tried to return

the dollar bill, Haskell said
he made the choice to pay $1 to
get his point across and it was
worth it. "No games," he said.
North Canton schools are
in the midst of restructuring
their social studies curriculum
from kindergarten through grade
12. Although the district has
offered economics at the high
school for many years, the new
curriculum will introduce age-
appropriate economic concepts
at all grade levels and will
require high school juniors to
take one semester of economics
and one semester of government. Teaching economic concepts could be as simple as a
lemonade stand at a grade
school or as complex as the
circular flow of money in the
market economy in the high
school.
Haskell gave teachers his
Handy, Dandy Guide to Economics
which he said could become
their most powerful teaching
tool. An abbreviated version
reads:
* People choose to do things
that give them the greatest
satisfaction relative to cost.
* People weigh benefits and
cost when making a choice.
* People choose to do things
for which they are rewarded.
* Rules and values govern
how people behave.
* In voluntary trade, both
parties are better off.
* People make choices based
on expected outcomes.
The workshop was funded by
a $6,000 continuing Career Education grant from the Ohio
Department of Education. The
grant will provide mini-grants
to fund creative projects for
teaching economics, according
to Debra Shaub, the district's
Career Education Coordinator.
BOOK BINDING. Elementary
students from North Canton in grades
three thru six are currently
participating in a unique Young
Author's Program. The students are

April 19th the students'books will be

North Campus when Mrs. Judith

will be on display at the North Canton
Library before being returned to the

The town of Union, which was
then located in Green Township,
was first settled in 1806.
When the present boundaries for
Lake Township were established
in 1816, 60 lots were recorded
on the village plat and it was
at this time that the name of
the village was changed to
Uniontown. By 1835, the town
had a total population of 49
residents.
The reenactment ceremony is
scheduled to take place on
Saturday, April 20, at the
Uniontown Elementary School.
There will be two performances,
one at ■ 4:30 p.m. and another at
